- I really hope that this exchange of ideas and practices will allow us to better understand the difficult process of opening science to researchers and the rest of society – said the Rector of the University of Lodz and the President of the CRASP Science Committee, Prof. Elżbieta Żądzińska.
- The topics discussed here are becoming very urgent taking into consideration the reality which we are functioning in. I am thinking of a pandemic here, which acts as a kind of catalyst. Experiences of open access and the possibility of using this work, going a step further, in other sectors or in an interdisciplinary way, looking for mechanisms so as to use the achievements and not repeat them, has amazing advantages – said Minister Wojciech Murdzek.
The first lecture during the Seminar was delivered by Prof. Johan Rooryck from the Leiden University, cOAlition S Executive Director. He was talking about the history and perspectives of Plan S implementation in European states. The elements of these activities include: resignation from embargo on scientific articles or fees for access to the articles themselves. The full speech by Prof. Rooryck - from 00:18:30 VIDEO. The discussion after the lecture was moderated by Prof. Łukasz Bogucki, the UL Vice-Rector for international relations.
